incredibly English write-up of Kansas-Arizona State in London www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/s...

It was a scene that lingered during a humdrum match, played out over three hours and 37 minutes. Even in the lulls, those bands never let the atmosphere drop. The Jayhawks’ band played the Beatles’ Twist and Shout and Cameo’s Word Up. The Sun Devils’ band responded with Salt-N-Pepa’s Push It. It made for a great – and unique – atmosphere.

And the game itself? Well, let’s just say the Union Jack Classic did not live up to its billing. It was not a classic. Arizona State won 24-17, a scoreline that was nowhere near as close as it sounds. Especially as, until the final minutes, Kansas’s offense was as stodgy and uninspiring as suet pudding.

Before the game, the Fox Sports analyst Chris Fallica suggested that this match was the equivalent of a lower-tier Premier League or upper-tier Championship match. Think Nottingham Forest versus Coventry. He was soon proved correct.

versus the Grantland Rice style "the precision-jackhammer attack of the K-State Jayhawks stomped the balls off the ASU Sun Devils this Saturday, stomping and hammering with one precision jack-thrust up the middle after another and numerous hammer-hack stomps around both ends..."

That’s disrespectful to Forrest and Coventry.

author appears to be @seaningle.bsky.social, who can hopefully explain what suet pudding is

Love the shout out to the bands. So much of the game is what's happening at the stadium and the bands are a big part of that. But, you don't see that watching on TV at home unfortunately. It's really fun just to be there.

Kansas has more of a MK Dons feel these days. Arizona State certainly more of a Crystal Palace type

That's a lot of beans you nasty ass bitch @chilibone.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

College football is just a front to hide the band wars

They should have had the WLOCP party played there while the Jax stadium is redone apropos of the Jaguars
